My Favorite Brownies

This is my new favorite brownie. Love, love, love it. It's kinda a wierd amount. Unless you have those forms that fit on your big sized cookie sheet, use a big size cookie sheet and also an 8 x 8 pan. I think if you halved it, it would make a nice 9 x 13 pan. I will try that sometime in the NOT future because I ate too many of these this weekend. So yummy.

1 lb. salted butter
6 large eggs
3 T. vanilla extract
